I. That there is any nutriment in beef
tea made from extracts. There is none
whatever.
2. That gelatine is nutritious. 1t will
not keep cat alive. Beef tea and gel
atine, however, possess certain repair
alive power, we know not what.
8. That an egg is equal to a pound of
meat, and that every sick person can
eateggs. Many, especially those of nerv-
: Gus or bilious temperament, cannot ca;
them; and to such eggs are injurious.
a.. That, because milk is an important
article of food, it must be forced upon q
patient. Food that a person cannot
endure will not cure.
(. That arrowroot is nutritious. 1t
is simply starch and water, useful as a
restorative, quickly prepared.
6. That cheese is injurious in all cases.
1t is, as a rule, contra indicated, being
usually indigestible; but it is concern
trated nutriment, and waste repairer,
and often craved.
7. That the cravings of patient are
whims, and should be denied. The
stomach often needs, Graves for, and di-
gests, articles not laid down in any die
tary. Such are, for example, fruit, pic
kles, jams, cake, ham or bacon with fat,
cheese, butter, and milk.
8. That an infexible diet may be mark
ed out, which shall apply to every case.
Choice of a given list of articles allow
able in a given case must be decided
by the opinion of the stomach. The
stomach is right and theory wrong, and
the judgment admits no appeal.
A diet which Wonld- leap a healthy
--.--n healthy might kill asick man and
diet sufficient to sustain a sick man
would not keep well man alive. In
creased quantity of food, especially of
liquids, does not mean increased nutri-
ment, rather decrease, since the diges-
ton is overtaxed and weakened. Strive
to give the food in as concentrated a
form as possible. Consult the patient S
stomach in preference to his cravings !;
and if the stomach rejects a certain ar.
ticle, do not force it.

s@Never overload a plate nor over
supply table. 1t is a vulgar hospitali-
ty. At small dinner no one should
hesitate to ask for more if he desires it..
1t will only be considered fattering
tribute to the dish. At large companies,
where there is necessarily a greater vari-
ETY. of dishes, the most voracious appe-
tite must be satisfied with a little of
each.
The French understand better than
the people of any other nation how to
supply table. Their small family din
ners are gems of perfection. There is
plenty for every person, every morsel is
eaten. The flowers of plants are fresh
and odoriferous the linen is a marvel
of whiteness; the dishes are few, but per-
feet of their kind.

From the German Of Harper.

cfo" "to Ne'"s"" " AWPcE>
From his floating ark, Noah anxiously
looked out, and waited till the waters of
the deluge fell. Scarcely were the tops
fthe mountains perceptible, when he
summoned around him feathered fowls
ofall kinds. "Who," said he, "among
you all, will be the messenger to see if
our deliverance is near?' Thereupon
the raven, with shrill cry, thrust him
self forward before all others, for seem
ted in the air his favorite food. No soon
er was the window opened, than he flew
away and returned again no more. The
ungrateful bird forgot, while feeding on
carceasses, both his deliverer and his
Grand. But revenge was not long in
overtaking him. The air was still full
of poisonous vapors, and dense mists
hung around the corpses, which cloud
ed his face, and blackened his feathers /;
and as punishment for his forgetful-
ness, his memory as well as his eyes fail
ed him so that he did not even know
his own young ones, and he enjoyed no
fathers pleasure in them. Frightened
at their ugliness, he flew away and for
sock them.
The ungrateful begat an ungrateful
race; they are deprived of the best re-
ward, the thanks of their children.
For eight days the father of the new
world waited for the return ofthe tardy
raven, before he again summoned around
him his feathered hosts, to select from
among their tribes another messenger.
Timidly the dove flew upon his arm, and
offered herself as messenger.
Daughter of faith, said Noah, thou
should'st truly be to me messenger of
good tidings; but how wilt thou be able
to perform thy journey, and do thine
GRAND What wilt thou do when thy
wings become weary, and the storm
overtakes thee and casts thee into the
dark river of death? Also thy feet
shrink from mud and dirt, and thy tongue
loathes unclean food"
"Who," replied the dove, "giveth
strength to the weary and supporteth
the feeble? Let me 60 Twill assuredly
be messenger of good tidings to
thee"
She flew away, and wandered about
hither and thither, but nowhere could
she find place where she might rest
when suddenly there arose to view the
mountain of Paradise with its green
summit, over which the waters of the
deluge had no power to come, and this
refuge was not denied to the dove. Joy
fully she fastened and flew to the spot,
and humbly laid herself down at the
foot of the mountain where bloomed
beautiful olive-tree. She broke leaf
off from tree, and fastened back
strengthened, and placed the branch
upon the breast of the sleeping Noah
On awaking he scented the odor of
Paradise. Then his heart revived with
in him, and the green leaf of peace re-
freshed his spirits, until his Saviour him
self appeared to him, confirming the
good tidings of the dove.
Since then the dove has been the mes
senger of love and peace. Her wings
shine like silver, says the Psalm-a glim-
mer still of the glory of Paradise which
revived her in her wanderings.

From the Baltimore Evening News"
THE MARYLAND INsTITUTE-THE FINE OLD
BUILDING IN A BRAN NEW DREss.-Persons who
have passed by the Maryland Institute lately
have been struck by the transformation in the
appearance of the building produced by the
painting of the entire structure in attractive and
tasteful colors. One of the officials of the Inst-
tute stated to NeCs reporter that the renovation
of the building was accomplished by means of
the appropriation recently made by the Mayor
and City Council of Baltimore. The work was
done under the personal supervision and direc-
ton of Mr. Theodore Oster, inspector of building,
and only the very best material was used. The
paint used was that manufactured by the New
Jersey Enamel Paint Company, the excellence Of
which has become known to the public through
the fact that it has been also used upon the Amer
ican and San buildings, Ford's Grand Opera
House, the Carrollton Hotel and many other con-
spicuous structures. Mr.. Oster was requested
by the president of the Institute and several Of
the directors to use this paint when the appro-
priation was made. He was at first disinclined
to acquiesce in the suggestion, owing to the fact
tHd1 HC ulu uOI DclcN0 III rtduy
His opposition arose from the fact that he had
experienced the worthlessness of many articles
put upon the market under the name of ready
mixed paints, some of which were limitations Of
the article suggested by the Institute officials,
and none of which were satisfactory to gentle
man so thoroughly capable of judging the excel
lence of paint as Mr.. Oster. When, however,
his attention had been called to the buildings
mentioned above, and he had seen a practical
demonstration of the qualities of this paint, he
consented, with his usual courtesy, to the wish
of those who had urged him to use the article
and the result has more than equalled the antici-
pations of those who had urged the use of this
paint
Mr.. G. P. Knight, No. I'll E. Lombard street,
new number) who is the general agent here,
stated to a NeaCs reporter that he had been SELL
ing the paint since 1871, and that in not single
instance had it failed to give satifaction to his
customers. He also stated that sample cards
showing the different acolors were furnished
gratis, on application to him by mail or in person.
The numerous large buildings upon which the
paint has been used are an ample guarantee of
its exceptional merit and it will pay anyone who
proposes to do any painting to consult Mr.. Knight
before having the work done.

THE NEW JERSEY ENAMEL PAINT.-This arti-
Gle has been on the market in Baltimore since
1871 and is handled by the sole general agent, Mr..
Chas. p. Knight, No. I'll East Lombard street,
new number). 1t has been used extensively on
public and private buildings and the best testi-
monial as to the general excellence Of the article
is the fact that it has never failed to give entire
satisfaction. None but the best materials are
used in compromising the Enamel Paint and
wherever it has been applied the general excel
lence of the work and beauty of finish show for
themselves, and any person of experience needs
no better evidence as to its utility and value.
These paints-all colors, which are shown upon
sample cards-are put up in gallon cans and
mixed ready for use which is a great advantage
as compared with the ordinary paints in the
The Enamel Paint is of uniform quality and Mr..
Knight, the sole agent in Baltimore, handles i'm
mense quantities of it, showing that it is not new
to the public, but is really stable article, the
demand for it increasing with each year. Many
of the finest buildings in Baltimore have been
covered with this paint, and where properly ap-
piled it has never failed to give entire satisfac
ton. The residence of III. G. Longnecker, in
Towsontown, has lately had two coats Of this
paint applied to it and the manner in which it is
covered and the excellence of the finish speak for
themselves. Those who propose doing any paint
ing are invited to inspect this house and see for
themselves that everything we have said about
the Enamel Paint is facts. We have no hesita-
ton in recommending it.

Owing to the want Of space, produced by the
great pressure upon our colurans in reporting
the proceedings of the different committees rel
alive to the reunion of the Society of the Army
of the Potomac, recently held in Baltimore, we
have been unable to call the attention Of our
readers and the public generally to the new
spring dress of THE AMERICAN building, except
to announce we had given the contract to Mr.. Q.
p. Knight, No. 2l1 East Lombard street new
number). The paint used on the building is the
liquid enamel paint, made by the New Jersey
Enamel Paint Company, which has been sold in
this market for fourteen years, and endorsed by
our late Mr.. Charles G. Fulton and by many rep
resentative men of our city, such as Mr.. John 3.
Gilman, president of Second National Bank; Mr..
Jacob Hartman, president of the Metropolitan
Savings Bank and Washington Fire Insurance
Company; Thomas j. Myer, of Thomas j. Myer
& Co.. j. ID. Mallory, of Reuter- y Mallory; Arm
strong, Gator & Co. and many Others The selec-
ton and combination of colors we're painted on
drawing of the building and submitted to Gen.
Agnus for his approval in advance of the work,
and we are most happy to say they have come up
to our expectations, and we cordially invite the
public to inspect the same. For seashore work,
which is so very severe on paint, 1T has some
splendid endorsements, and we suggest, for the
benefit of our patrons, to write Mr.. Knight for
sample cards and testimonials.
